Did you know that all our drivers will be EUSR trained in Water Hygiene?

What is EUSR?

The National Water Hygiene scheme has been developed at the request of Water UK who is the representative for the water supply companies across the whole of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The blue National Water Hygiene card was introduced in January 2006 to replace all water company specific hygiene schemes and removes the need for workers to undergo separate testing, health screening.

If any person working on a restricted operations sites such as service reservoirs, pumping stations, treatment works, wells, spring and boreholes and working on the network of water mains and service pipes must be in possession of a EUSR National Water Hygiene card.

This is why Tardis Environmental has trained all our drivers to be EUSR trained in Water Hygiene. What does it mean for you? This will mean we can deliver fresh water (Not drinking Water), which will be safe to use. We can deliver up to 6000 gallons of fresh water with our water tank. Need less I have other tanks like our H20 Bulk water tank that can hold up to 4000 Gallons of bulk water?

We also do water bowser and IBC’s. Our Water Bowser range from 2,400 litres up to 10,000 litres. Our IBC’S has the capacity to hold 1,000 litres. Both our Bowsers and IBC’s hold fresh water only and are not suitable for drinking from. Before all our bowsers and IBC’s are sent out they are cleaned and ready for use.

We can deliver drinking water from our special drinking water towable bowser.

That’s Right two companies in Japan have come together to create a goalkeeper that is a toilet!!!

You have probably shouted at your team’s goal keeper of being a load of toilet. Now the worrying thing is that could be true.

Who would come up with this idea?

Who else but JAPAN, the inventors of all things weird but Hi-tech gadgets. But they have seriously out done themselves this time with a Loo that can calculate a Balls trajectory.

All the shots were done by former Japanese international striker Tatsuhiko Kubo. This one off special toilet is a result of collaboration between toilet manufacturer TOTO and the Sports Lottery firm toto and was asked to promote environmental issues, I have watched the video myself and none of it makes any sense to me, then again football and toilet mixed in with environment issues was never a going to be clear to me.

But you have to admire what they have accomplished, a toilet that can save a shot on goal.

So how is it done?

First of the toilet is placed if the centre of the goal with two camera either side of the goal posts, these cameras film at 250FPS (Frames per Second) which will track the balls trajectory and send the information to the toilet, which will then pivot in the right direction and then release a ball from inside the toilet to collide with the football.

All this is done in 0.1 seconds.

We don’t have Goalkeeping toilets, but we done have a Top Portable Toilet Service at a Low cost and 24hr call out service Nationwide.

Our largest Tanker in our fleet

Plus our website has an abundance of information on our tankers and portable toilets.

Here are some problems that may occur and recommended service to help solve any problems you have.

Don’t flush too much toilet cleaner down into the septic tank as too much toilet cleaner could kill the bacteria which are used to break down solids and other stuff for easy pumping.

Try not to flush nappies and sanitary towels down the toilet as this may block the inlet and outlets of the septic tank and cause it to spill into the drain field which could create a nasty smell.

Also keep an eye for any trees that may grow near your septic tank and drain system as a root from a tree may crack the surface of your septic tank or drain system, which could be a costly repair. One other thing to keep in mind is not to put too much weight on top of the Septic tank as it may put too much pressure and cause the septic tank to crack and splint.

Septic Tank emptying is recommended to happen at least once every two years depending on size and use of your septic tank. I would recommend getting your septic tank emptied every year to keep it in good order and avoid any costly bills to fix or replace a septic tank.

Check your pipes in your drainage system to see if any of them need a patch repair. If you find a pipe that needs more than a patch repair you could always get a drainage re-lining repair which will re-line the pipe back to working order.

Some older houses tend to have an old drainage system, you may notice that when you flush your toilet or empty your bath water it may be slow in going through your drainage system, but when checking the pipes you don’t see any cracks or splits in the system.

To solve this problem, first get a cctv survey to root out the problem, most common problems are blockages that slow the flow of wet water waste which can be solved be a jetting service which uses high pressured water to force out any blockages.
